2010 Community Project

It captures 10 fun outdoor games on engaging signs to help parents and caregivers create learning opportunities for young children. Emerging Leaders members will determine locations of trails, work with city/county leadership to obtain permits, partner with local businesses, and coordinate volunteers for the installation weekend. The group will create relationships and learn many things about our community and businesses in the process.
